Did anyone get tickets? I got up early on my day off but failed and now they are silly money on ebay.
So if anyone has any spare for Chelmsford drop me a mail!

you were lucky the line-up is nothing special in my humble opinion. I presume there is no glastonbury this year hence the mad rush for tickets.

They tend to turn up cheaper on fleabay in the last days leading up to it, as peoples plans are scuppered for random reasons... Don't buy now, bluff it out for as long as you dare. (of course if you dont get any I was never here

Save up go to Glasto next year.

Nothing, nothing, absolutely anywhere on earth comes close to Glasto as far as festivals go.

Ah yes... planning to take the whole family. Kids go free! And we can take our caravan for a few nicker; better than tent-swamp-ville!

We're going to do this in a few years time (kids a bit too young next year). Cant wait.

That they do, as wonderfully tipified by the couple last year in Le Chameau wellies resplendant pushing a Silver Cross pram...

We've never done the motorhome thing, though I do like the idea of going with a Land Rover with a rooftent.

It is quite frankly gutting that we wont be going this year, still, makes next year even more special.

Mrs Space & I went to Glasto last year for the first time, it definitely won't be the last.

I think next time we'll simply hire a bog standard transit or similar and sleep in the back of that. It's not as if we'll be in it for hours on end, so I'm sure we'll cope.

Other than that, I'd be tempted to buy a cheap campervan off Ebay, use it solely for that weekend then sell it.

I've never understood the:

'Oh we cant go to a festival, that camping and those toilets, not for us'

You spend 5 days in a field just about compos mentis listening to the greatest bands on earth, where you sleep and how you go about your ablutions are merely secondary considerations...

I think download will be the place to go this year.



Hope so since I already booked my ticket a few weeks back. Line ups looking fairly good so far though, if your into heavier music.

Download is tempting.

I for one get rather hacked off with all the tickets going before most bands are announced - I'll go to a festival for the music, not because it's a sodding festival. But I can't, because a whole bunch of dope-heads want a good excuse to sit in a field for 48hrs stoned off their faces and not paying any attention to the bands!!!

Sorry, rant over. but it does my head in - with some bands it's about the only chance to see them for a couple of years.

Erm... Glasto ain't on this year. Giving the fields their four-year rest!

Soz! Didn't think you'd be in the dark about that one. The wife is gradually educating the kids in the so-called joys of Yes, The Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel, so they will probably not be coming to the dance tent with me!

That really p's me off too. Organisers should ban it - ask for names on tickets, have to write to organisers requesting permission to change names. Bit of effort, but will stop touts and those who just want to cash in.
